The Timberwolves (14-13) and Mavericks (18-10) are set to duke it out on Christmas Day in what’s shaping up to be a showdown with serious playoff implications. As last year’s Western Conference finalists, both teams are looking to keep their postseason dreams alive in a tightly contested race.
Minnesota, sitting at 11-9 in conference play, has been lighting it up from beyond the arc. The Timberwolves rank fifth in the league with an average of 14.9 three-pointers per game, shooting a sharp 37% from downtown. Leading the charge is Anthony Edwards, who’s draining 4.1 treys per game with an impressive 41.4% accuracy.
On the other side, the Mavericks are scoring buckets like there’s no tomorrow, averaging 118.8 points per game—a whopping 11.6 points more than the Timberwolves typically allow (107.2).
While the Timberwolves are shooting 45.7% from the field, just edging out the 45.3% their opponents typically manage, Dallas knows how to turn the heat up when it counts.
